BARREL-HOOP- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 1, 1905.

Application filed April 18, 1904. Serial No. 203,629. 7

To all whom, itmay concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES W. BRAINARD, of Pittsburg, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Barrel-Hoop,

of which the following is a full, clear, and

exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which i Figure 1 shows in elevation a barrel-hoop embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section.

As shown in the drawings, the hoop 2 is made of a strip of steel having at its middle an outwardly-bulging corrugation or corrugations 3 and having at the lower edge an outwardly and downwardly inclined lip 4:.

The corrugation and lip make the hoop very strong, and the lip renders it easy to drive upon the barrel without catching upon the wood.

I claim A barrel-hoop having a middle corrugation and having at its lower edge, an outwardly and downwardly inclined lip; substantially as described In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JAMES W. BRAINARD.
